Once viewed as the angry generation, those born in the 1980s have settled down into family life, earning an average of 60,000 yuan (HK$75,450) per year in the financial capital, the poll by Fudan University found.

About a third of respondents made less than 3,000 yuan a month, while about half earned between 3,000 yuan and 10,000 yuan.

A tenth were deemed “high-income earners”, making more than 10,000 yuan a month.

It did not say how much more members of the Communist Party made compared to their colleagues without official affiliation.

But two-thirds of earners in the highest bracket were party members, the poll found. [Source]
